J.D. Poliquin, Chairman of Almaden, stated:

Drilling continues to confirm and extend the Ixtaca mineralisation, a strong system of veining with sections that carry high gold and silver grades. The new results reported today from the Main Ixtaca and Northeast Extension zones show that high-grades exist in many areas of the Ixtaca vein system. The Northeast Extension zone is now interpreted to run perpendicular to the other zones and results reported today are very encouraging.
